- the device 1 is a compact technical subassembly that can be installed in a portable system or integrated into a fixed installation.
- Device 1 is a device for testing a sample by gas flow.
- the device 1 comprises an orifice 2.
- This orifice 2 is the inlet orifice of the hollow of a hollow needle, arranged in the center of a sealed suction cup 24 arranged to be pressed against a sample 13 (such as a bag of food product or any container having at least one flexible surface of compatible size through which a needle can pass).
- the suction cup avoids the use of sealing septums to carry out a test without polluting the air outside the container.
- the device 1 further comprises means 3 for generating a flow of gas 25 (gas to be analyzed, dilution gas, leak gas, calibration gas) in the device 1 along at least one flow path passing through the orifice 2, by a mass flow meter 4, and by a valve 8 called the selector valve.
- gas 25 gas to be analyzed, dilution gas, leak gas, calibration gas
- Valve 8 is a valve with more than two channels (inlet or outlet), having several possible positions. Each position of the valve 8 corresponds to a specific configuration of opening for the passage of the gas flow 25 or closing to prevent such a passage between some of the inlet and outlet paths of the valve 8.
- Valve 8 is preferably a proportional (preferably slide) valve.
- the valve 8 is for example a valve made from a Mécalectro brand electromagnet, or even a Parker valve.
- Port 2 and valve 8 are common to all flow paths. Along this common part of the flow paths is preferably located a micro-porous filtration element 23.
- the filter 23 is for example a PTFE filter from Millipore or Sartorius.
- the generation means 3 comprise a turbine, or more generally a reversible flow generator with controlled speed in order to be controlled in flow rate or in pressure, for example of the Papst brand.
- the generation means 3 are reversible, that is to say they are arranged to generate both a gaseous flow 25 in aspiration and in expiration (ie in a direction of flow opposite to the aspiration).
- a valve 16 and orifice 2 delimits the two ends of each of the flow paths.
- Valve 16 is a valve with more than two channels (inlet or outlet), having several possible positions. Depending on the position of the valve 16, the valve 16 connects the generation means 3 to the external atmosphere of the device 1 in a first position 17 or to a source 19 of reference gas in a second position 18.
- the valve 16 is by example a Bosch or Univer brand valve.
- the device 1 comprises at least one pressure sensor 5, 6, each pressure sensor 5, 6 being arranged to measure a pressure P r of the gas flow 25 along at least one of the flow paths. More exactly, the pressure Pr measured by each sensor 5 or 6 is a relative pressure (respectively depression or overpressure) generated by the flow 25 (respectively sucked into the device 1 or exhaled from the device 1) with respect to the absolute pressure which would be measured in the absence of this flow 25.
- Each sensor 5, 6 is for example a piezoresistive sensor of the Honeywell, Freescale or Sensortechnics brand.
- the mass flow meter 4 is arranged to measure a parameter representative of the mass flow rate of the gas flow along each flow path.
- This parameter is typically an electrical intensity or an electrical voltage, and is preferably proportional to the mass flow rate of the gas flow 25 or linked to the mass flow rate of the gas flow 25 by a calculation programmed and/or stored within calculation means 7 of the device. All the sensory and servo elements 5, 8, 6, 20, 4, 3, 16 are connected to the calculation means 7 by an electrical connection and/or data transfer or command connection (connections shown in dotted lines on the picture 2 ).
- the calculation and control means 7 are represented schematically only on the picture 2 so as not to overload the other figures.
- each is used to refer to any unit (eg sensor or flow path) taken individually in an assembly.
- this set comprises at least one unit (ie for example “at least one sensor” or “at least one flow path”)
- the set comprises a single unit (ie for example a single sensor or a single flow path) and where the word “each” designates this single unit.
- the calculation means 7 only comprise technical electronic and/or software (preferably electronic) means, and comprise a central computer unit, and/or a processor, and/or a dedicated analog or digital circuit, and/or software.
- the mass flowmeter 4 is a mass flowmeter with thermal conductivity.
- the mass flowmeter 4 comprises a heating element (heat source) and two temperature probes.
- the heating element is located between the two temperature sensors so that the heating element and the two temperature sensors are all aligned along the direction of flow of the gas flow at the mass flow meter.
- the mass flowmeter 4 depending on the variation in temperature or quantity of heat between the two temperature probes bordering the heat source, is arranged to determine therefrom the parameter representative of the mass flow rate of the gas flow 25 passing through the flowmeter 4 (i.e. a mass of gas passing through the flow path per unit time).
- the advantage of a mass flow meter, especially with thermal conductivity, is that it has a very fast response time. It will therefore allow access to a leak hole diameter 22 or to a quantification of the presence of a gas of interest with very high measurement speed (typical response time of 3 milliseconds).
- All these flow paths are permitted in the device 1 depending on the position of the valve 8 and the direction of the flow 25 generated by the generating means 3.
- the position of the valve 8 and the direction of the flow 25 generated by the generation means 3 (exhalation or aspiration) at any given time determines the unique (zero or one of the aspiration path, exhalation path, or dilution path) flow path through which the flow 25 of gas at this instant in the device 1.
- valve 8 For a first position 9 of the valve 8, the valve 8 is closed and the gas flow 25 generated by the means 3 cannot flow along any flow path as defined above.
- the means 3 for generating the flow of gas 25 are arranged to draw in a gas to be analyzed coming from a sample 13 so that this gas to be analyzed flows into the device 1 along the suction path.
- the measuring hole 14 is a hole made in a plate 15.
- the plate 15 is typically made of stainless steel.
- the plate 15 is removable so as to be able to replace it typically either in the event of wear of the hole 14 or to change the size of the hole 14 within the device 1.
- the hole 14 is of known size typically from 5 ⁇ m to 150 ⁇ m in diameter. diameter.
- the flow passes through a second hole 21 with a larger diameter (typically around 2 mm) than the measurement hole 14.
- the thickness of this perforated disc 15 is an element for adjusting the desired pressure drop, and is much smaller than the micro-perforated 14 hole size (typically about 10 times smaller)
- This hole 14 is the passage of smallest open area (per unit area perpendicular to the direction of flow 25) for gas flow 25 in device 1 compared to the rest of the entire suction path, and even preferably of the exhalation path and the dilution path.
- Hole 14 is circular in shape.
- the at least one pressure sensor 5, 6 comprises a first pressure (so-called suction) sensor 6 arranged to measure a pressure P r (more exactly a depression, directly linked to the suction force of the turbine 3) of the gas to be analyzed along the suction path, preferably but not limited to between 20 and 500 mbar or wider (between 4 and 500 mbar or between 4 and 1000 mbar or wider depending on the 3) turbine capacities.
- a pressure P r more exactly a depression, directly linked to the suction force of the turbine 3
- the mass flow meter 4 is arranged to measure the parameter representative of the mass flow of the gas to be analyzed along the suction path.
- the calculation means 7 are arranged to quantify the presence of a gas of interest within the gas to be analyzed (this quantified presence being typically a proportion in % of gas of interest in the gas to be analyzed or in mol per liter of gas to be analyzed or in the form of a volume of gas of interest, for example in millilitres), from a measurement of the parameter representative of the mass flow rate of the gas to be analyzed.
- the calculation means 7 are arranged to quantify the presence of the gas of interest in the form of a calculation of a proportion or of a volume of the gas of interest which depends on the diameter of the hole 14 for measurement. In other words, if the diameter or the width of the hole 14 is changed without indicating it (by a program, a command, an adjustment button, etc.) to the device 1, the calculation of the proportion or volume of the gas of interest by device 1 becomes false.
- the first suction pressure sensor 6 is located along the suction path between the orifice 2 and the measurement hole 14, for better measurement accuracy.
- Mass flow meter 4 is located along the suction path so that measurement hole 14 is located along the suction path between port 2 and mass flow meter 4.
- the mass flowmeter 4 is optimized for one or more types of gas having a default value of thermal conductivity (also called thermal conductivity). For gases with a thermal conductivity deviating from this default value, a correction factor must be applied.
- calculation means 7 calculate, by the 1st formula described above, a diameter of the hole 14 ⁇ cal of 100 ⁇ m, the calculation means 7 deduce therefrom either that the proposal of O 2 in the mixture is 100%, or that the proportion of CO 2 in the mixture is 0%, depending on which of these gases is considered to be the gas of interest.
- calculation means 7 calculate, by the formula for ⁇ cal described previously, a diameter of the hole 14 of 135 ⁇ m, the calculation means 7 deduce therefrom either that the proposal of O 2 in the mixture is 0%, ie the proportion of CO 2 in the mixture is 100%, depending on which of these gases is considered to be the gas of interest.
- the calculating means 7 are not obliged to go through two steps of calculating the diameter of the hole 14 ( 1st step, 1st formula) then of deducting the proportion of the gas of interest (2nd step, 2nd formula), but can directly calculate this proportion in a single calculation combining the two steps and therefore the two formulas.
- the calculation means 7 are therefore arranged to quantify the presence of the gas of interest in the form of a calculation of a proportion or of a volume of the gas of interest which preferably depends in an affine manner on the square root of the parameter D m representative of the mass flow.
- the calculation means 7 are arranged to quantify the presence of the gas of interest in the form of a calculation of a proportion or a volume of the gas of interest which depends in an affine manner on the parameter representative of the mass flow.
- the calculation means 7 are arranged to quantify the presence of the gas of interest under the form of a polynomial of degree Z of the parameter representative of the mass flow.
- All the calibration factors A, B, M, N, A ⁇ , M ⁇ , a, b, a ⁇ are stored by the calculating means 7 and are defined in advance, typically by calibrating the device 1 with samples 13 at the known proportions of different gases or with samples 13 each provided with a leak hole 22 of known size.
- each calibration factor depends on the gas considered. For example, one can presuppose a mixture gas of O 2 mixed with a gas of interest of CO 2 , or a mixture gas of He mixed with a gas of interest of CH 4 +NH 3 , etc. .
- the device 1 therefore comprises an interface arranged to define the mixture gas and the gas of interest, and the calculation means 7 are arranged to select the values of the calibration factors as a function of the mixture gases and of interest defined.
